Hey all,
Plugged in my pogo last night. I've only played with it for a few minutes really, it's a pretty neat little device and I look forward to playing around with it a lot more. I plugged in 2 X 1.5 TB drives, one of which has maybe 400 movies or so. The pogo has been working on indexing those all night, understandably. How long did your initial indexing take? Overall, I've got probably 500-600 GB of data between movies (mostly .mp4's), music and photos.
Anyway... in some of my picture folders, I've got videos I've captured with my digital camera. I really have no interest in sharing or viewing these, is there a way to mark a folder as not to be shared via the web interface or the pogoplug windows application?
When I had these drives on my local machine (connected via USB) I was getting transfer rates of about 30 MB/second (for both read and writes). Transfering a few hundred meg file using the Windows plugin/application (IE: to my newly mapped Q: drive) I was capping out at about 6.5 MB/second. What's the bottle neck? Both PC and Pogo are plugged into a 100Mb switch with nothing else attached.
My initial search yielded people getting 18-22 MB/second which is more along the lines of what I was expecting/hoping for (IE: seeing a 20-30% drop, not a 70% drop from native USB connection speeds). My first thought was that the indexing process (still ongoing) is claiming all the CPU power, and things may get better once that completes.
